Sermons on Luke (Page 5)
They Will Kill Him, and on the Third Day He Will Rise
Luke 18:31-34. For the third time in Luke’s gospel Jesus tells His disciples about His coming death in Jerusalem. That written by the prophets is going to be accomplished!
What Must I Do?
Luke 18:18-30 A ruler of the synagogue came to Jesus with an all important question. What must I do to inherit eternal life. In answering the question Jesus brings the man to the law. In the answer we see that if it at all rests on “our work” it only requires perfect law keeping and perfect submission to Jesus lordship. Those who oppose Lordship salvation should give a listen, because they might be surprised what Lordship salvation actually believes.
To Such Belongs the Kingdom
Luke 18:15-17 People bring their children to Jesus to have Him bless them, and Jesus uses this to continue teach on the topic of who enters the kingdom of God.
How Can a Man Be Right Before God?
Luke 18:9-14 Jesus speaks a parable to those who trust in themselves that they are righteous. The world is full of all kinds of religion seeking to answer our question, but the Lord shows that there is one way to be right with God, and it is not by our own merit.
Prayer of the Elect
Luke 18:1-8 Jesus tells a parable aimed at instructing believers to pray for the second coming of the Lord.
The Kingdom: Part 2
Luke 17:20-37 Jesus teaches the Pharisees about the right now kingdom of God that is inward, then He turns to HIs disciples and teaches about the realized “not yet” kingdom that one day will come.
The Kingdom: Part 1
Luke 17:20-37 The Kingdom of God is the central theme of all the New Testament. The Jews, from reading the Old Testament scriptures knew much about the kingdom, and they had certain expectations about the coming kingdom of God, but they missed the most important aspect. Entry is only by new birth!
The Importance of Thanksgiving
Luke 17:11-19 Man’s condition, according to Romans 1, is such that we supress the truth of God, and refuse to honor Him and give Him thanks. Here in Luke 17, we see a picture of ten men, ten lepers who come to Jesus for healing. Our Lord graciously heal all ten. Only one of these returns to Jesus in a heart of praise and thanksgiving. Do we return to give Him thanks?
Sin/Repentance/Forgiveness in the Believing Community
Luke 17:1-10 Sin happens. Its not ideal, and its not our aim, but even in the church, sin happens. So how do we respond when it does?
Are You Convinced?
Luke 16:19-31 (sound improves after 40 seconds so please be patient). Jesus tells a parable about the reality of judgement and those who are saved being comforted in paradise, while those who are not saved are in torment in hell. This is such an important parable for us, whether we are saved that we might know the need for proclaiming the gospel, or if we are not that we would know that it is appointed once for man to die,…
